SOLID-STATE IMAGING ELEMENT AND DRIVE METHOD THEREOF, AND IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state imaging element driven by using vertical interleave reading and pixel summation altogether that uniformizes pixel gravity center distributions and average exposure times by each color so as to improve the color reproducibility. SOLUTION: When the solid-state imaging element with color filters of the Bayer arrangement images a moving picture, pixels of reading objects are selected so that pixels interleavingly read in the vertical direction are selected not to be adjacent to each other and the distances between the pixel gravity centers added with 2 or more B pixels and pixel gravity centers added with 2 or more R pixels are arranged at an equal interval. Further, the solid-state imaging element is provided with read gates respectively independently of other systems driven to pixels of the read object within n (n is 4 or over) pixel periods.
